After Destroying Federal Regulators, AT&T Wages War On Industry โSelf-Regulationโ Regimes Like NARB, NAD

Homeland Security Tightens Rule on Anti-ICE Activities
The rule, which went into effect this month, prohibits a wide range of activities, and activists fear the Trump administration will use the regulation to cover up misconduct by immigration officials.Kate Morrissey (The American Prospect)

Israeli soldiers speak out on killings of #Gaza civilians | Israel | The Guardian theguardian.com/world/2025/novโฆIsraeli soldiers have described a free-for-all in Gaza and a breakdown in norms and legal constraints, with civilians killed at the whim of individual officers, according to testimony in a TV documentary.
โIf you want to shoot without restraint, you can,โ Daniel, the commander of an #Israel Defense Forces (IDF) tank unit, says in Breaking Ranks: Inside Israelโs War, due to be broadcast in the UK on ITV on Monday evening.Some of the IDF soldiers who talked to the programme requested anonymity while others spoke on the record. All pointed to the evaporation of the official code of conduct concerning civilians.
The soldiers who agreed to talk confirmed the IDFโs routine use of human shields, contradicting official denials, and gave details of Israeli troops opening fire unprovoked on civilians racing to reach food handouts at the militarised distribution points set up by the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
โIn basic training for the army, we all chanted โmeans, intent and abilityโ,โ Capt Yotam Vilk, an armoured corps officer, says in reference to the official IDF training guidelines stipulating that a soldier can fire only if the target has the means, shows intent and has the ability to cause harm.
โThereโs no such thing as โmeans, intent and abilityโ in Gaza,โ Vilk says. โNo soldier ever mentions โmeans, intent, and abilityโ. Itโs just: a suspicion of walking where itโs not allowed. A man aged between 20 and 40.โ

Today...
Ok, really, really tired, its bed time, but with that said, a little run down on today first.
Today I buried my husband. I mean that literally, I don't mean I outlived him, nor do I mean I attended his funeral.
Arlen who's the caretaker, grave digger and everything else at Bethlehem Cemetery in Tunnel Hill Illinois is older than me, older than my husband, heck, I think it was ten days or so he had a stent put in. Yeah, he's already up and working.
Any how, its not like the graves needed to be particularly large nor deep, cremain vaults aren't particularly large, so he dug the one for Vik's mom, and I dug the one for Vik, placed them in the graves, and covered up Vik while he took care of Betty.
So we drove 155 miles or so in an electric car, so charging stops in Mascoutah and Benton. Mascoutah didn't go well, the charge was real slow once I got it started after three or four tries, finally through the app. The one in Benton went weird, speed was good, but the dispenser's display was out, so I had to rely on the app, and its a little slow, so I was concerned I was stuck when the lock on the charge cable didn't release at first.
Then the burial, and then head back with a single stop in Mt Vernon at the WalMart where we had a little trouble with the Electrify America charger and its app, the latter glitching when it came to updating state of charger, and the dispenser being disagreeable about starting until I used the app.
There is now a GM Energy or whatever they're calling it across the street, so I'll prolly try that next time and see if'n it works well.
I picked up dinner at St Louis Bread Co (Panera to you heathens) before heading home, ate, surfed the web, and here we are, time for bed, but no sleeping in as I have chiro in the morning. And if'n it warms up enough, we'll try to get the tires on my Bolt to hold air so I can sell it.

in reply to Kฤpitan • • •Hey, we want to do this right.
First, weโre making sure whoever can be migrated has the opportunity to migrateโensure their communities continue.
Then weโre going to reveal pricing and invite more people over in a way thatโs sustainable to continued service.
What I can say confidently is that pricing will not rise, nor will you be back-billed. Stay tuned!
